A MODEL has sparked fury by posing naked in front of Jerusalem’s Wailing Wall, a year after she was jailed for a nude photoshoot in an Egyptian temple.

Marisa Papen took the cheeky snap from the rooftop of a building in the ancient Middle Eastern city, The Sun reports.

“It was immediately clear to me that if we could manage to take a picture in front of or near the Wailing Wall, the whole trip would be a success,” the Belgian model said.

“We got into a conversation with a super friendly guy, who turned out to be Muslim, and he invited us into his house where we drank coffee and mint tea.”

Marisa Papen has caused offence to some by posing naked in front of Jerusalem’s Wailing Wall, a site considered sacred by many Jews, Christians and Muslims.

When Ms Papen and her photographer Mathias Lambrecht asked if they could visit his rooftop to take a photograph, the man gladly obliged.

“I still had to explain that I wanted to take off my clothes for a picture.

But he was even more chill than we thought,” she added.

Her racy photoshoot comes after she was arrested for posing naked in the temple complex of Karnak near the Egyptian city of Luxor.

The Western Wall or Wailing Wall is an ancient limestone wall in the old city which was part of a Jewish temple expansion and a holy site where Jews go to pray.

The model was arrested in Egypt last year for a similar photoshoot.

It is seen as sacred holy site for Jews, Muslims and Christians.

Marisa, who describes herself as “free-spirited and wild-hearted expressionist”, said she has been praised for her racy shoot and Israeli fans have even invited her back to visit.

However, others were not as impressed.

One man fumed online: “This is crossing a line. Who do you think you are to pose here? I hope that God will judge you.”

Defending her nude photos, Marisa said: “Religion is turning mankind more and more into pack animals. We no longer get the chance to listen to our heart and instinct. From birth we are being brainwashed.”
